LLMs cost significantly less than even a high schooler
Just because for now they are burning money and it's priced considerably under what it's costing them.
Which is why I spoke of "cost" not of "price".
They're in the "disrupt" phase. But that's not forever.
No. The marginal cost of an LLM is much, much lower than a high schooler. It is not even close. There is a lot of investment happening but revenue will continue to increase as the product improves and more use it or the money will stop flowing. If training stopped LLMs would be immensely profitable right now
